Where's the high level design?

[Paul Smith]

I am trying to understand how the various object classes work together to perform a build but am struggling - is there a high level overview somewhere?

My motivation is that I have created an initial interface to GitLab CI webhooks to allow GitLab CI jobs to report build status on the same Jenkins dashboards as native Jenkins jobs but I have two issues left to solve:


1. My code works but it could probably be tidied up if I understood the design of the native jobs better
2. I cannot get the 'estimated completion' times to work as I cannot hook the Permalinks in a way that works nicely.

Thnaks,
Paul DS.

Not really. If there were, it would probably go here:

Only a handful of people would ever implement something like this, and
there are no examples among frequently used or well supported plugins.
The closest I can think of would be `external-monitor-job` and
`build-publisher`. There is no very good way of doing this.

Not sure what you are trying to do with permalinks, but
`Job.getEstimatedDuration` could be overridden I suppose.

Jesse,

Thanks for the response. No need for a further response from you but to answer your questions...

- I have looked at the external-monitor-job but not build-publisher so will see if there is anything useful to me there.
- Permalinks seem to be how the 'getEstimatedDuration' is implemented and I was trying to get my head around whether I could piggy back off existing code but I appreciate that I could simply override this code if required.

Thanks for the info,
Regards,
Paul DS.
